And a monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday if I don't get my arse into gear!
Major spring clean, amend, major move about. It is time. Record collection (humungous) is now in store. Swapped stereos (big black boxes that have knobs all over the place, I think they are stereos)with ravager pup...his is so much prettier and smaller. Sorry about the ellipses and parenthesis 
old habits and all that. Never learned how to use Ravagers', stereo that is, he wouldn't let anyone touch it. Student books now abound on old record shelves. Mini disk system also in mothballs, realise I need to stock up on cd's, there is only so much fifties, sixties and seventies music one can listen to and the blues have a bit of a slit your throat effect at the moment!
take care

Cookies. Cookies. Little round things you dunk in your tea. I think they are called biscuits on your side of the pond. Here's an example.

Whereas what we call biscuits are at

I have no idea what you call those. 
I think I just made your space wide.

Oh bravo!
We're engaged in something similar after work tonight. Dearest 'husband' friend is finally 'moving in' (has been living with us for a year and a half so not before time!). The great sort begins tonight.
Parenthes and ellipses (Ps and Es?) are fine, use to hearts content, only need to be watched in 'proper' writing.

Oops didn't see you there!
That's what I thought. Are your biscuits our crackers? (can't go to likns while in work) So how do you distinguish particular types of biscuit? And what do you call a cookie?

Looks like H got off, so I'll speak on her behalf, so as not to hold you in suspense.
Our cookies are round, relatively small and flat.
>>So how do you distinguish particular types of biscuit?
With adjectives 
>>Are your biscuits our crackers?
I have no idea. What're your crackers?
Anyway, do join in the NSS Sneaky. It really is a hoot!

It's all so confusing. Crackers are things you have with cheese.
I should be doing productive things not worrying about bikkies. Mmm bikkies. Nice hot tea and bikkies.

A cracker, in Grande Britannia, is a savory biscuit which one generally eats with cheese after dinner. A course generally known as 'cheese and biscuits', not 'cheese and crackers'. Of course. And how are y'all today?
Fatty - off to eat all the fly cookies. So if you want some, have some NOW.

Now Lizard you have to share the flycookies. Huh. I wonder why everyone is backing away all of a sudden.

Speckly, go to the second link in post 105. There are 2 examples of biscuits. One a cheese biscuit and the other a plain old biscuit. You split them and put butter and jam or honey on them. Or you split them and put gravy (usually made with crumbled up sausage) over them for breakfast. Or you can put sugar, raisins and cinnamon in the batter and then put icing on top to make a dessert.
Crackers are thin, flat,crisp and usually salted. There are dozens of different varieties, but saltines (square), Ritz (round), and club (rectangular)crackers are the most common. They are served with soup, salad and used as a base for cheese and other toppings.

Well we all seem to be on the same page with crackers anyway. Will look at the links when I get home.
Ritz crackers with brussels pate is yummy. Lizardy will disagree with that though. She hates Ritz, thinks they taste soapy or something.
